AUD/USD – Drops to New Six Year Low Below 0.73

AUD / USD - Monday, July 27, 2015

The Australian dollar fell sharply in the last month, which led to a new six-year low below 0.7300 to close last week. He is presently trading just below 0.73 and consolidate in a narrow range, but is ready to search to drift a little lower. For the better part of the past weeks, the AUD / USD has traded in a narrow range between 0.74 and 0.75 with the former providing reasonable support and the latter providing a strong resistance during this time. He was counting on the support of 0.74 and test that level but it was broken and the AUD / USD has been consolidating around the 0.74 level for the past week. Just a few weeks the Australian dollar began to feel some selling pressure from the level of 0.77 and had his eyes firmly focused on the long term support level at 0.76.

In the first half of June the Australian dollar jumped over the low 0.77 up to last three weeks, but he ran right to resistance at 0.7850 key, which played this role several times this year. All this time, he also spent most of his time fairly stable operations around the 0.7750 level while enjoying a strong support 0.77. Over the past two months, the 0.7850 resistance level has played a major role and continues to exert downward pressure on selling the AUD / USD. During this same period, it benefited from rock solid support from the level of support in the long term to 0.76 that allowed him to bounce back strongly to more than 0.78 to more than one occasion.

Throughout the second half of May, the Australian dollar fall sharply to a four months above 0.8150 to the level of key support at 0.76. This level was a significant level for a couple of months and has supported the Australian dollar on multiple occasions. This recent price action has been a significant reversal, because there is not so long, the AUD / USD has been in a long-term trend solid medium to having broken through the 0.7850 key level and reached four months of high above 0.8150. For most of this year, the Australian dollar has traded in a wide trading range between support at 0.76 and resistance around 0.7850. Earlier this year in February this range was narrower with the highest level of support 0.77. Throughout this period he has had reasonable swings back and forth between the two key levels with very few excursions beyond the levels.
